With a new foreign object in your mouth, you may find that, at first, your mouth is full of saliva. This is perfectly natural for new denture wearers and will go away once you become adjusted to wearing your dentures. Try to swallow more often to remove the excess saliva. You might want to suck on a mint or hard candy to get you to swallow more frequently. Some soreness in your mouth is to be expected, and usually occurs within a few hours of putting your dentures in. If soreness becomes a continuing problem for you, make an appointment to see your dentist or prosthodontist so that any necessary adjustments can be made to your dentures. Denture wearers should never try to make adjustments to their dentures on their own. You also may get the feeling that your dentures are too big or that your lips are being pushed forward. The "full-mouth" feeling is common to new denture wearers and will wear off as you get used to wearing your dentures. |
